WALK! My sister swears by it.

there is also this Eggplant recipe

Ingredients


3 medium sized eggplants
1 cup flour
6 eggs, beaten
4 cups fine Italian bread crumbs, seasoned
Olive oil for sauteing
8 cups of marinara sauce (recipe below)
1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 pounds of mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 cups of ricotta cheese

Directions

1. After you wash the eggplant, slice them into 1/4-inch thick slices. You may choose to peel the eggplant before you slice it. However, you may want to leave the skin on since it contains a lot of vitamins.

2. Place the eggplant slices on a layer of paper towels and sprinkle with a little salt, then cover with another layer of paper towels and hold it down with something heavy to drain the excess moisture. Let them sit for about an hour.

3. Working with one slice of eggplant at a time, dust with flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat well with breadcrumbs.

4. Saute in preheated olive oil on both sides until golden brown.

5. In baking dish, alternate layers of marinara sauce, eggplant slices, ricotta, parmesan and Romano cheeses, until you fill the baking dish, about 1/8 inch from the top. Cover with shredded mozzarella cheese, and bake for 25 minutes in a 375 degree oven. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Re: im 5 days late and

My lamaze coach swore by doing squats but I ended up having a c-section 3 days early so I never got to that point.

My sister cleaned like CRAZY the day she went into labor. Vacuuming, rearranging, everything....and that night she went into labor hardcore! She was also a few days late.

Re: im 5 days late and

I wasn't late, but like you I wasn't making any progress!! I was a fingertip dilated the day i went into labor. I had Gianna at 39w4d's.

I swear by walking! Walk walk walk! I went up and down the stair in my house cleaning, doing laundry, cooking, I must have walked my dog wayyyy more than she needed to go to the bathroom!

I started doing all this on saturday, and I was in labor monday afternoon.
